Kyle Evans - October 2025 Operator of the Month

October 2025: Kyle Evans

October’s Operator of the Month is East Metro Division’s Kyle Evans. Evans was selected by East Metro leadership for exemplifying what it means to remain vigilant and safe while driving, putting that into practice during a perilous situation in early September. Evans was performing traffic checks at an intersection after the traffic light turned green, as required by standard operating procedures. As he was going through the traffic check, a skateboarder crossed directly in front of the bus against the red pedestrian light. Evans realized the skateboarder was inches away from the front of his bus and made sure to stop before coming into contact with the skateboarder, preventing a potentially serious accident.
